Should agricultural research in Central Asia and Caucasus (CAC) re-prioritize its agenda with view to climate change?
Impact of climate change on the clockwork of agro-ecosystems. ▶ pollinators as key agents of any climate change adaptation of agro-ecosystems at risks. ▶ Impact of climate change on mountain agriculture.Temperatures in ...
Optimizing cotton irrigation regime using climatic data from mini weather station via evapotranspiration in the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan (in Russian)
Irrigated agriculture is the backbone of Central Asian economies and efficient
irrigation management is of crucial importance to the sustainable crop production. The ET-based irrigation scheduling method has potential to ...
A GIS‑based approach for up‑scaling capillary rise from field to system level under soil–crop–groundwater mix
Capillary rise represents an often neglected fraction of the water budget that contributes to crop water demand in situations of shallow groundwater levels. Such a situation is typical in irrigated areas of Central Asia ...
Environmental factors of spatial distribution of soil salinity on flat irrigated terrain
Inefficient irrigation and the excessive use ofwater on agricultural land in the Aral Sea Basin over several decades
have led to saline soils. The main objective of this paper is to identify the environmental predictors ...
Modeling irrigated cotton with shallow groundwater in the Aral Sea Basin of Uzbekistan: I. Water dynamics
In Khorezm, a region located in the Aral Sea basin of Uzbekistan, water use for irrigation of predominantly cotton is high whereas water use efficiency is low. To quantify the seasonal water and salt balance, water ...
Genotype × environment interaction and stability of grain yield and selected quality traits in winter wheat in Central Asia
High grain yield and improved quality determine the commercial success of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties in
Central Asia. This study was conducted to determine the effect of environment on grain yield, ...
Geostatistical monitoring of soil salinity in Uzbekistan by repeated EMI surveys
Soil salinization in the lower reaches of Amudarya is a constant threat. High seepage losses in irrigation water delivery
network and deteriorated drainage network result in rising groundwater tables. The shallowgroundwater
table ...
Mapping Cropland Abandonment in the Aral Sea Basin with MODIS Time Series
Cropland abandonment is globally widespread and has strong repercussions for regional
food security and the environment. Statistics suggest that one of the hotspots of abandoned cropland
is located in the drylands of the ...
Beyond the state order? Second crop production in the Ferghana Valley, Uzbekistan
After independence in 1991, Uzbekistan introduced a policy on food security and consequently
reduced the irrigated area allocated to cotton and increased the area of winter wheat.
Shifting to winter wheat allowed farmers ...
Assessment of the agricultural production with satellite earth observation – A case study in Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan
Assessment of the agricultural production with satellite earth observation – A case study in Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan (will updated once final manuscript is published
